Classification of health literacy
Health literacy is an important index to measure health education, and health education is the main means to improve health literacy. Only by understanding the connotation of health literacy and in-depth study of health literacy can we find the correct way to effectively improve health literacy. Health literacy mainly includes health knowledge and health skills. To improve health literacy, we should adjust measures to local conditions and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

Strengthen organizational leadership. The Ministry of Health issued an announcement and published "China citizens' health literacy-basic knowledge and skills (Trial)", which is the basic content of defining national health literacy and popularizing health knowledge at this stage, and is also an important basis for evaluating and publishing the health literacy status of urban and rural residents in various places in the future. Health departments at all levels should take the initiative to strengthen communication and cooperation between departments, so that the popularization of health literacy can get more understanding and support from all departments, make efforts to use resources and complement each other, and strive to solve the outstanding problems faced by the popularization of health literacy and the most direct and realistic health and hygiene problems that the masses are most concerned about. Incorporate the popularization of health literacy into social development planning, establish a long-term, stable and effective mechanism, and ensure that policies, measures and work are put in place.

Attach importance to health education. With the improvement of public health awareness, people gradually realize the role of health education. Modern medical research has found that many diseases are related to people's bad lifestyle, psychological quality and social and environmental factors. Unhealthy habits, unscientific lifestyles and unhealthy behaviors have become important causes of human diseases. In order to reduce this kind of diseases caused by bad habits and unscientific lifestyles, changing behavior habits is the key. The change of behavior habits mainly depends on individuals, the driving force of change lies in the improvement of understanding, and the key to improving understanding lies in education. By means of education, people's knowledge of health science is popularized, which helps the public to establish correct health concepts, develop good health habits, establish healthy behaviors and lifestyles, and improve the public's self-care ability.

The media widely publicized it. Research shows that the best way to improve knowledge and skills is to spread it vividly in audio-visual form through developed media technology, thus improving the readability of health information. To put it simply, it is to use the influence of mass media to select easy-to-understand information to spread to the public, so that the public can have a preliminary understanding of the meaning of health and a clear understanding of harmful living habits, thus forming health literacy. While using the media to spread, we should also pay attention to improving the readability of health information. Readable health information can often make the target population understand its meaning more smoothly and accurately. The public's acceptance of information depends not only on the difficulty, expression and communication skills of the information itself, but also on the personal acceptance and judgment ability of the information.
